My missus did her test in London after 20 years driving in Thailand - she found it very hard and she's no idiot. She was just used to driving the Thai way Thai lady in Australia had failed the driving test 10 times yet had had her thai licence for many years, its hard when thais dont know or obey the road rules, they just do as they please on the roads and it shows with all the road deaths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the only bigger deal would have been taken by an ambulance instead of walking on my own two legs and feet as I was.......Amazing Thailand with it's unenforced rules. I wonder how I would fare if I drove the wrong way on the road, or even rode my motorbike on the sidewalks.....fined, jailed, deported etc....

Paul Kernell Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 With the majority of drivers not even knowing who has the right of way, poor road signs and marking, non existent pavements/ side walks, speed limits in urban roads nonexistent or not unforced and motorcycles racing around without lights at night the carnage will continue. No mention of the motorcycle? Drunk? Speeding? Lights? License? Right side of the road? Or a combination of all above. Disgusting. RIP lady.

I always look both ways crossing the street especially if it's a one way street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
